RESQ_SPEC

res_quanLib.RESQ_SPEC : term -> thm -> thm

Specializes the conclusion of a possibly-restricted universally quantified theorem.

When applied to a term u and a theorem A |- !x::P. t, RESQ_SPEC returns the theorem A, u IN P |- t[u/x]. If necessary, variables will be renamed prior to the specialization to ensure that u is free for x in t, that is, no variables free in u become bound after substitution.

      A |- !x::P. t
   ---------------------  RESQ_SPEC "u"
    A, u IN P |- t[u/x]

Additionally, if the input theorem is a standard universal quantification, then RESQ_SPEC behaves like SPEC.

Failure

Fails if the theorem’s conclusion is not restricted universally quantified, or if type instantiation fails.
